My damn job.
Hooray for getting absolutely buttfucked by my job. Pretty much the whole world knows that Atlanta got snowed in last weekend. At out place in Stone Mountain, we still have a large quantity of ice on the road to get out of the neighbourhood. It's been a week. I braved the ice wednesday and made it in to work, but it was not a pleasant trip. The sun came out wednesday and helped melt things a little, but at our place, all it did was make the roads worse by removing any semblance of traction from the surfaces. I called in thursday again since I couldn't leave the driveway. Today, things aren't fixed, but they were better enough that I could get out and make it to work. This afternoon I got an email from the HR lady relaying the bosses instructions for the week.
Any time off for this week must have vacation approval forms turned in to her by 10am monday.
Oh wait, I don't have any fucking vacation time until july. So, I get fucked. I talked to my boss about it, and he is upset that it is out of vacation days, but there is nothing we can do.
And to make it even better, the guy that I would really need to talk to is in india for the next goddamn month.
So, I get the pleasure of having to show up to work early in the morning on a saturday to make up for one of the three lost days this week. That way I am only going to lose 1/5 of my paycheck, and ought to have enough to cover the bills and gas so I can get to work for the next two weeks. Hopefully.
